Stopped in for a late Friday afternoon lunch. Small-town bar vibes, friendly service. I tried the Carolina Cowboy Chicken sandwich and was glad I did. Crispy chicken fried to perfection and piping hot, plus cheese, thick-cut bacon, an onion ring and a tangy honey mustard BBQ sauce that brightened the whole thing. Fries were thicker-cut and well-seasoned. DH had the Chicken Cheesesteak. He liked it... noted that the chicken was cubed, rather than sliced or shredded, but it didn't curb his enjoyment. There were other interesting things on the menu so we'll be back. Recommend for a casual, tasty meal! read more

It's been awhile since my last visit. Seems a bit disorganized and much slower service compared with previous experiences. Greek omelette was okay, needed a little more Greek seasoning. Chicken Fried steak sandwich was fine. Servers were pleasant but we had about a thirty minute wait between ordering and food arriving; not okay for a place with only about nine tables; something was amiss in the kitchen. read more

Chick-N-Elly's - Naked chicken wings with ranch dressing. - American Near Me - Eureka, Missouri

Smallish place right off city center. Promptly seated and drinks ordered. Chicken cheese steak and onion rings. Sandwich was HUGE! Omion rings hot and crispy. Come give it a go! read more

This is a cozy little restaurant in the historic downtown of Eureka MO. There is a small bar with about 10 or so tables to dine. The service was great and the gal took very good care of us. We both got the chili-mac which was a ton of food. However, it was more noodles than chili making it not overly tasty. I smothered it with sour cream to help but it still was nothing to write home about. Plus, they have can soda which is not a favorite either since no refills. read more

I read somewhere that this place was supposed to have the best breakfast, so it has been on my list to try for awhile. My favorite breakfast item is biscuits and gravy. I stopped in to pickup 1 biscuit and gravy to go to try it out. The server was friendly and the place reminded me of a very small dive bar/diner type place. Unfortunately, the biscuit and gravy was not good. The gravy had a slightly sour taste to it and it didn't have any sausage in it. It looked like it may have been a powder mix type gravy. The biscuit was ok - fluffy but kind of dry. I'm always on the hunt for good B&Gs and these did not make the cut. read more

My mom and I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and were seated right away. Breakfast and lunch menus were both available, but we were in the mood for sandwiches. We both ordered the Italian Beef with a side of onion rings. I admit that I'm a little picky about how others make their Italian Beef, because the one I make is pretty good. ;-) I was pleasantly surprised -- Chick-N-Elly's was delicious!! It was a great choice and a generous size (easily enough for 2 meals unless you're super hungry). The onion rings were perfect, too! Our server was friendly. read more

Chick-N-Elly's - Italian Beef Sandwich with Onion Rings - American Near Me - Eureka, Missouri

Smaller place but the food is good. They were packed and shorthanded but the coffee kept coming! We knew going in it was going to take a bit. You can expect that on a Saturday morning so heads up folks...don't be snotty. read more

Amazing atmosphere and delicious food. Generous portions and excellent adult and regular beverages. Like eating at grandmas with the rest of the family. Everyone is treated like a regular. Audrey is the best! read more

Food is great. Small place so may have to wait. However, when we eat at other places for breakfast we always say, "well it ain't Chick-n-Elly's". read more

What a hidden gem!!!! Incredible service with incredible food!! Can't wait to come back and try EVERYTHING!!!! The loaded pancakes were my favorite so far! read more

Small place, good food and service. Onion rings are great. I had chick n elly burger and we also had wings. Very good

I rarely give low star reviews. Welp, here is one. I will not be back. I called ahead to order a simple salad and italian beef sandwich - a popular menu selection from the reviews I read. I was told it would be 20 minutes for pick up. I arrived early and waited to enter until my 20 minutes was up. The minute I walked in, I knew it was a mistake. None of the staff wore masks. Not one patron had a mask on. No one was wearing a mask as they entered, except one gentleman. The minute he walked in, his friend said you can take that off. It's not needed here. I told the waitress I was there for my pick up order. She said it would be a minute. I waited another 15 minutes. When they finally brought the order out, she asked if I needed plastic silverware (insert frustrated sigh because I was already at 35 minutes since order was placed, and I was now running late for bringing the lunch to my Dad as promised). I said yes. I waited another 5 plus minutes and then decided to leave since no plastic silverware seemed to be coming anytime soon. I knew I had a plastic fork somewhere in my car. By then I decided I'd use my fingers if I had to rather than keep waiting. A '20 minute called ahead pick up' turned into 40 minutes plus for a simple salad and Italian beef sammy. Yes, the wait staff were busy at lunch rush...which is why I called ahead before lunch rush "technically" starts. But wait. There's more. They were also disinterested in providing help - despite my efforts to catch their attention more than once while patiently waiting for my order, which apparently wasn't placed till I got there?!? When I finally did get someone to talk to me, they were rude and short with me. Like I was at fault or a bother to them. The curt replies, lack of smiles or courtesy, and impatience by every staff I encountered - 3 of them - was just not acceptable. As a former waitress, I know people have rough days and busy days. And I know they get paid crap and deal with horrible customers sometimes. However, I was over the top patient BECAUSE they were busy. The service and attitude I received - plus the lack of COVID safety precautions - was beyond something I want to give a second chance to. I know they could and should have treated me better. The locals can keep this spot. They've seen me twice...the first and last time. read more

This is an awesome little spot very well hidden doesn't even have a parking lot of its own that is accessible from the street. Food is excellent services beyond excellent fun place to go. read more

We visited here on a recent Saturday morning before going fishing. We had not been to downtown Eureka before and were looking for another establishment, which also looked nice but was not open yet. And such a blessing Because We went to Chick-n-Elly's and had two orders of bananas foster French toast that was AMAZING!! Bellies full and smiles on our faces we drove off for fishing... we didn't get even a nibble but still had fun, in big part to a great breakfast. Thank you Chick-n-Elly's!!! read more

Great little local restaurant. Really good coffee. Service was quick and friendly. Small restaurant with limited tables but table turnover was quick. read more

Great food Great service GREAT AMBIENCE Downtown Eureka is a great place to visit Has shopping read more

Very small but good food and service. We have been there multiple times recently. One of my husband's favorite places:)

To be honest, from the name I was expecting something like Chick fil a, however it wasn't. The menus consisted of burgers, sandwiches and wings. I ordered the "ultimate steakhouse burger" and it was fantastic. The beef patties were hand patted and fresh. There is a large selection of burgers to chose from. My son ordered the "bacon Parmesan wings" and loved them. They were way larger and tasted way better than Buffalo Wild Wings!! These wings would make Bdubs cry like a little baby. Lol. There were many flavors to chose from. I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a local restaurant with great food. read more

Stopped here on our way back from St Louis. Really good food. Will put on our trip stops for next time. The cheese in the gravy made the difference. Hot, gooey, and delicious. The place had a local, friendly vibe to it. read more

I met my friend Jeff for breakfast there this morning. I have been searching for a local breakfast place for awhile that is convenient for both of us to meet, and this restaurant had come highly recommended by friends. I was not disappointed. From the outside I was not sure what to think, as its set in old town Eureka, and upon walking in I was not disappointed. From the locals finishing their breakfast and joking with staff and the owner, to the owner who was preparing the food. The atmosphere is exactly what I had hoped for in a local breakfast spot. The food was great too. The owner commented that if it was no the best omelette i had had, it was free. And well, it wasn't free. The Western Omelette was that good. I am a fan of traditional pan-fried potatoes over hash browns, so I ordered the home fries. They were good, but after seeing Jeff's chicken fried steak and eggs with hash browns come out......I think i will try the hash browns next time (they looked good). Definitely a great place to stop for breakfast or lunch, Wednesday through Sunday. They are limited to seating inside, but don't let that stop you. The breakfast was definitely worth it. read more

They have a VERY well-heated outdoor dining area and are open during Covid. You will be extremely toasty and cozy, I promise. The wait staff is fantastic. Excellent breakfast with huge portions. Good prices. Lots of locals and regulars there, so you know it's good! read more

This is a small, unpretentious, bar and diner with good eats and great service. We had a wonderful breakfast today. They get incredibly packed and noisy on Saturday mornings, but do their best to accommodate all their customers. My husband liked his Southwestern Scramble, but was envious of the truly delicious Chicken-Fried-Chicken on my side of the table. Don't expect the usual measly chicken patty. This is a big juicy chicken breast! The hash browns were perfect and the sausage gravy was too. We will definitely go back! read more

What a great hometown restaurant. We went for breakfast and there are quite a few options. We had omelets. I ordered the weekend special omelet with prosciutto and spinach. It was flavorful and filling. It came with homestyle fries and bread of your choice. I had the biscuit. We also ordered a side of bacon and it was really good! There wasn't a wait for the table on an early Saturday morning but there is limited seating and no where to stand inside if it was full. They also have a bar for individuals or smaller parties of two to sit. Great service and the food arrived very quick! read more

We are new to the area and stopped in after looking at the construction of our new house. We were there for breakfast and the waitress was friendly and so were the other customers! The food was hot and yummy! So excited to move in and this will be a favorite local place for us! We will be back! read more

Listen, all of these other complaints are ridiculous. It's NOT a "fried chicken restaurant". Focus on what they DO have. The appetizers are all good, but the California garlic and rodeo cheese fries are the standouts. You will be happy with ANY of the burgers, but the 3 cheese pretzel burger is amazing. Now, on to the wings... They are all fantastic but the hot bacon Parmesan are perfect. They are simply, perfect. The canned soda choices are the only minus to this place. PS- follow them on FB, then come in when they do have fried chicken. It's delicious. read more

This was my first time there and I'm glad I went. The restaurant is in a historic building, its clean, updated but has a classic look and feel. I was greeted by staff and treated like I was part of the family. I ordered the special which was smoked turkey BLT, it was delicious. I enjoyed the experience and the food. read more

Anytime I get up early enough for the "breakfast hours" this is where I am going! They have great omelets that I get 2+ nice meals out of. Last time I had a spinach salad and it was amazing, I had to take maybe 2/3 of it home but I didn't mind at all it was so good. Another good thing to order is the grilled chicken sandwich with mushroom and Swiss. Delicious!! read more

The menu showed one price and when I got my bill it was 20% higher than it was on the menu. They need to update their menus with the current prices. read more

Adorable little place. Breakfast was hot and really good. We had a short wait but service was great! We will be back :)

I got to this restaurant at about 6:45 in the morning on Thursday to fuel myself up for my trip to Bikes, Blues, & BBQ. I got myself the Denver omelet, and added mushrooms. The food here is always fantastic, great local establishment. read more

Great classic breakfast, including eggs, sausage, home fries and toast. Recommend it!

Chick-N-Elly's has always been a family favorite of ours. Whether after Mass on Sunday or a quick stop mid week, they consistently deliver great food. They even go the extra mile for my wife who has a gluten allergy. Thanks Chicks!! read more

Went here after a day at the skeet range. Glad I found this place. Located in the main strip. Enjoyed a few ice cold Bush's. Ordered the fried chicken special. Nice, juicy 4 pieces of perfectly fried bird. I also had the chilli cheese fries. They have a bottle of wing sauce at the tables which went well with the fries. My buds had a combo of wings, they have a lot of option from sweet, tangy to super buttburning hot. Great friendly service. A. must try if in town. read more
